having a successful second run after only a few short days was a great success. Number of deliveries far exceeded expectations Meeting the project requirements4. What was your greatest challenge on the drone project? Time constraints and some minimally-performing team members Dropping accuracy Initial run failed Solving last minute technical problems5. What suggestion(s) do you have to improve the drone project? Making the competition even more challenging by adding an obstacle to the course More time Incorporating design originality into the scoring system6. Did your view of engineering change as a result of the drone project and if so how? The importance of time and project

‘socially robust knowledge’, ‘societally relevant knowledge’, or ‘societal responsive knowledge’, is designed to describe how socially constructed knowledge in ‘the context of application’ involves the contingent features of contexts as defined by external stakeholders. Far less attention is paid to the internal configurations underpinning interdisciplinary knowledge. [16, p. 473]Against the rising interest in ‘the contextual’, we find Gajary et al.’s recent proposal helpful asthey offered a definition of convergence as a system of systems [5, p. 2, 9]. Their expandeddefinition considers convergence research as an adaptive, dynamic process [5, p. 9-10]. Whileconvergence research is always grounded in specific time and

Thesefindings support previous research on project-based learning, where students exhibited a greaterability to align engineering solutions with end-user priorities (Bosman et al., 2018).
